They said: ' Sir, go not off! Verily, we shall not be able to live without you! ' ' If such I am, make me an offering/ < So be it.'

The FUMIGATION from MANNA. HEAR me, O Death, whose empire unconfin'd, Extends to mortal tribes of ev'ry kind. On thee, the portion of our time depends, Whose absence lengthens life, whose presence ends. Thy sleep perpetual bursts the vivid folds, By which the soul, attracting body holds: 6 Common to all of ev'ry sex and age, For nought escapes thy all-destructive rage; Not youth itself thy clemency can gain, Vig'rous and strong, by thee untimely slain. In thee, the end of nature's works is known, In thee, all judgment is absolv'd alone: No suppliant arts thy dreadful rage controul, No vows revoke the purpose of thy soul; O blessed pow'r regard my ardent pray'r, And human life to age abundant spare.

(355) 572 The double doors of heaven open. 572 O N., 572 thy head is joined for thee to thy bones; thy bones are joined for thee to thy head. 572 The double doors of heaven are open for thee; the great bolts are drawn back for thee; 572 a brick is drawn out of the great tomb for thee. 573 Thy face is that of a jackal; thy tail is that of a lion; 573 thou sittest upon this thy throne; thou commandest the spirits. 573 Thou comest to me, thou comest to me, thou comest indeed to me, 573 like (to) Horus after he had avenged his father, Osiris. 574 I am thine Anubis-priest. 574 Thou puttest thy hand on the land; thy warrior-arm is over the great region, 574 wherein thou goest (or, passest through) among the spirits. 574 Rise, lift up thyself like Osiris.

(512) 1162 To say: My father made for himself his heart, after the other (heart) was taken from him, since it was opposed thereto, 1162 as he ascended to heaven, 1162 and traversed the billows of the Winding Watercourse. 1162 Anubis comes, meeting thee, 1163 Geb gives thee his arm, father N. 1163 Guardian of the earth, leader of spirits- 1163 he mourns him, who was mourned, his father--, 1164 O, raise thyself up, N.; 1164 receive these thy four nm.wt-jars and `b.wt-jars; 1164 purify thyself in the Lake of the jackal; purify thyself by incense in the Lake of the D.t; 1164 purify thyself before thy sb.t-bush in the Marsh of Reeds. 1165 Thou voyagest over the sky; 1165 thou makest thy abode in the Marsh of Offerings, among the gods who are gone to their kas. 1165 Seat thyself upon thy firm throne; 1166 take thy mace and thy sceptre, 1166 that thou mayest lead those who are in Nun, that thou mayest command the gods, 1166 and that thou mayest put a spirit in his spirit. 1167 Take thy walk; voyage over thy nti-ocean, 1167 like R` on the shores (or, lands) of the sky. 1107 N. lift thyself up; hasten to thy spirit.

(5) 1 not die? Lying here on my bed, or standing amidst my kin, I must suffer the agonies of dissolution alone. Whence shall I find a kinsman, whence a friend, when the Death-god's messengers seize me? Righteousness alone can save me then, and for that I have not sought. Clinging to brief life, I have been blind to this terror, heedless; 0 my Masters, grievous guilt have I gathered. He who is taken to be maimed of his limbs at once withers away; thirst racks him, his sight is darkened, the world is changed to his sight. How then will it be with me when I am in the charge of the Death-god's hideous messengers, consumed by a fever of mighty terror, covered with filth, looking with timid glances to the four quarters of heaven for aid? Who will be the friend to save me from that awful terror? I shall see in the heavens no help, and sink back into madness; then what shall I do in that place of horror? Now, now I come for refuge to the mighty Lords of the world, the Conquerors eager for the world's protection, who allay all fear; to the Law learned by them I come with all my heart for refuge, and to the Congregation of the Sons of Enlightenment.... Whatsoever guilt I have gathered in my foolishness and delusion, alike the wrong of nature and the wrong of commandment, I confess it all as I stand before the Masters with clasped hands, affrighted with grief, and making obeisance again and again. May my Lords take my transgression as it is; never more, O Masters, will I do this unholy work.
